People can share and discuss things that make them feel uneasy or afraid but aren't necessarily thought of as "scary" in the conventional sense in the subreddit r/mildlyterrifying. The subreddit's name itself is a playful allusion to the fact that the information published there is intended to be more unsettling than threatening.

These creepy things can be triggered by a variety of stimuli, including persons, places, and items, and are frequently connected to things that are seen as aberrant. But how is a creepy feeling different from other feelings like fear or disgust?

Or do they share a connection? Well, when we experience dread or disgust, creepiness serves as an emotional "foreplay."
